"I think American blacks, over the course of this next year, will begin to see that they've been manipulated very, very largely," Carson said in response. "People telling them what they're supposed to think and what they're supposed to say."

Nothing worse than being manipulated by the media into walking down the street, minding your own business then getting shot to death by the cops.

Hate it when that happens.

They are easily manipulated. Examples include the trayvon Martin and Mike Brown cases.
They are easily manipulated into violence, self loathing and group think. Its why ten men on a boat could have control over 5000 slaves.

eh... reading over the article i didn't see much substance there. he just sounds like another politician looking to secure the vote of a particular demographic... even though i do think the media is largely exploitative/manipulative of the black community in general. especially when they engage in these racial campaigns over every dead thug the media can drag up and incite people to the point of rioting... no doubt this is counter productive for the communities involved yet extremely lucrative for the media.

Nah, you are just racist. Black people are no different from other races. If you want to make an argument about people generally being easily manipulated sure, but the way you phrase it is bullshit.

You mean Michael Brown? The guy who was walking in the middle of the street acint like a jackass, and when a cop told him to get out of the middle of the street he attacked the cop, tried to take his gun, and was subsequently shot.

Damn right.

Who are you to be giving lessons on anything concerning racism, considering your countries past, you are the last person we should be listening too on any subject involving racism or bigotry. Other then on the internet, anyone in person would laugh at you trying to teach them about racism in America after you told them where you are from.

Look at you getting all upset. And making things up as well. Who said inferior?

Emotional reactions to facts you dislike are a sign of low I.q.

Surtur
It's not blacks the media manipulates..it is everyone. They make it seem like there is an epidemic of violence against blacks perpetrated by cops that is much higher then it has been compared to recent decades. Which of course the opposite of that is the actual truth.

Why do they do this? Because a cop killing a black man is a story, a black man killing another black man is something they see on a daily basis so it's just not juicy enough.

But now because of this we have the very real issue of some people immediately assuming racism was at play if you have a cop having an altercation with a minority now. Gone are the days of "lets maybe wait to see what the investigation brings up".

Implying that black people are inferior for no other reason than that they're black is racist.

Now maybe you don't actually believe this and are trying to trollololo or whatever, but racist-trolling is still a crappy way to troll.

Mexico is a country mainly decended from an uncreative, unintelligent stone age people with a stone age culture. They had the same amount of time to evolve as the west did, but they never left the stone age. Same for Africans and most Arabs.

They are from a less evolved stock of DNA, incapable of truly adapting to modern culture. They are always the dregs of society.

Some truths can hurt when they don't fit with defining notions you have about yourself or the world. Your post has not been one of those for me.

I really think liberals are just trolls. I don't think they actually believe that people who simply point out their double standard behavior/expectations are really racists, bigots, or sexists because no one could be that dumb. Not even liberals.

I mentioned this before, but some 12 yr. olds here quite literally created a Facebook type page in May for their class to keep in touch because they were afraid not everyone would survive the summer and be around for school in the fall. It's highly disturbing it exists and it's highly disturbing the kids felt the need to take this step.

People in the hood have this mentality you can't show weakness. Even being civil is seen as a weakness. This is why you always hear about people shooting people over stupid stuff(like getting beer spilled on your shoes).
